tin天jan真dak得ji只yau有nei你ling令san神sin仙yu魚gwai歸tin天yiu要gwaai怪seui誰Only you were that naive: who's to blame for your angelfish dying?

yi以wai為lau留joi在yun原dei地bat不gau夠ngou遨yau遊jau就yeung讓ta牠sa沙taan灘leui裡hei戲seui水You thought staying put wasn't enough roaming, so you let it play in the water on the beach.

bat不yiu要gan緊saan山ye野dou都yau有mou霧dang燈waan頑tung童yik亦hok學gwaai乖bat不gam敢taai太yung勇gam敢Never mind: even the wild hills have fog lamps, and the rascal has learned to behave, not daring to be too brave.

sai世seung上yau有do多siu少go個ban繽fan紛lok樂yun園yam任nei你haang行So many colourful playgrounds in the world, free for you to roam.

wai為ho何joi在yu雨saan傘ngoi外duk獨hang行Why walk alone outside the umbrella?

je這mo麼do多hou好heui去chyu處maan漫yau遊dou到duk獨ga家chyun村heui去taam探seui誰With so many good places to go, who would you visit wandering off to a loner's hut?

gei既yin然yun沿jeuk著cham尋mung夢ji之leui旅cheut出faat發jau就jaam站cheut出dim點kap吸yan引jaan讚heui許Since you set out on a journey to chase your dreams, stand out a bit and win some praise.
